After encountering huge obstacles to her dream wedding venue, honeymoon and hen do, a bride has revealed her “devastation” after her big day has now been cancelled by coronavirus.

Steph Carr, 31, was over the moon when her partner of 13 years James Fuller, 35, popped the question at their home in Staines, Surrey in August 2018 - however shortly afterwards her honeymoon was called off by Thomas Cook collapsing and then her hen do was ruined when a stripper broke his leg.

The mum-of-two’s string of bad luck began when her dream wedding venue became unavailable after Netflix bought it.

She booked another place and also a two week trip to Florida for her honeymoon, but lost the £3,500 holiday when Thomas Cook collapsed.

Then, the management accountant’s hen do ended in disaster when a 'Dreamboy' injured himself and knocked an elderly woman unconscious after falling into the crowd.

Now her big day, due to take place on Friday, and the subsequent rebooked honeymoon, have been cancelled due to coronavirus.

Steph - who is mum to daughter Sophie, 11, and six-year-old son Harry - said: "It has been absolutely devastating - you start to feel like your wedding is cursed, like how could so many things go wrong?

"This is supposed to be every girl's dream come true and a fairytale day but it has been more like a nightmare.

They had just arrived when a male stripper shattered his leg after jumping onto a 20ft fireman's pole that ripped out of the ceiling, sending him crashing into the audience and knocking an elderly lady unconscious.

Steph said: “We were all sent to the back of the room whilst this poor guy lay on the stage with his leg facing the wrong way.

"It was an absolute mess, the night was ruined and we didn't want to stay in London so we just called the limo back and went straight back home.

"We ended up in a cocktail bar back in our local town and we still had a good time but I wanted my hen do to be at the show so it was disappointing to leave so suddenly."

Finally, with the coronavirus outbreak, the couple have been forced to postpone their celebrations indefinitely.

Steph said: "I've got elderly relatives who wouldn't be able to come, the hotel advised us to reschedule and with the rule about social distancing, we had to make the decision to postpone.

"We're looking at rescheduling it for September 2020 as the venue said they can give us a date then, but all our wedding stuff has our original date on and I don't know if my suppliers would be available.

"Speaking to Disney about the honeymoon is proving to be a nightmare - they won't honour our free breakfast dining if we reschedule for October and the hotel isn't available so would cost loads more to rebook.”
